2026 recruitment & retention

Lost two talented edge backrowers in Sammy and Schuster and haven’t replaced them, Waddell plays better in the middle for me.

Mestrov did state after Schuster was sacked that they were chasing a backrower, nothing as yet for this season.
 
The Schuster debacle has killed us. Should have kept the Fainu bros and let Schuster walk. Burbo would of been on the bench or nsw cup..

We just keep getting it wrong in terms of retention and recruitment. I’m mean Wadddddlee, seriously? Kills me
 
The Glenn Stewart Debacle
The Toovey
The Barrett Debacle
The Manese Debarcle
The Rainbow Jersey Debacle
The Hasler Debacle
The Schuster Debarcle

Just to mention a few, we could add others.

Leagues club debacle
Salary cap cheating debacle
Letting AFB walk
Letting Gutherson walk
Letting Hynes and Ramien walk
Trbojevic brother 6 yr deals
Cherry Evans 10 year deal

All under penns watch..
 
We could be holding off on buying a like for like back rower replacement as we could possibly be saving the funds to pay out the rest of the Schuster contract this year. That allows us to have close to full cap that play with next year to go for a bigger fish

This. As well as the very unlucky timing of the Schuster release. By that time, we really didn't have a genuine shot at anyone left
 
I am stunned that we have now lost Jamie Humphries. The people responsible for recutiment are asleep at the wheel.
